MY STORY…
Before I started P90X, I didn’t feel like I was living up to my full potential. I had just come out of college and started my first real job. I should have been feeling confident and energetic, but my poor eating habits and lack of physical activity left me feeling lethargic and self conscious. Business Lunches, Co-worker pressure, and long hours did me in. I was tired after work, too lazy to eat well, and got sick every other month. I gained 25lbs and decided that enough was enough…I started to go to the gym.
The gym was crowed and intimidating. When I went I had to put up with the dirty locker rooms, bad parking, and wasting time/gas driving to and from. But I reluctantly stuck with it and lost some weight. It only took me a year….Then came the plateau. Any effort I was putting in I got nothing in return. I had completely stopped progressing. ENTER P90X.
I saw the P90X infomercial for the first time right before I went to bed. I was immediately intrigued but skeptical because there are so many products that make empty promises out on the market. In the year that I had been going to the gym I never saw those type of results, how could people get into that kind of shape in 90 days? What about gaining mass…could I gain mass on this program? When I woke up the next morning there it was again, Tony Horton talking about muscle confusion. For the next couple weeks everywhere I looked I saw something about P90X. A co-worker was talking about it and I saw people wearing P90X t-shirts, so I kept researching the product. I was convinced! I was going to get into the best shape of my life, and P90X was my solution.
I never thought that a home workout could be that intense. My transformation results started to happen in the first 30 days. The nutritional guide was my food bible. I soaked up every word. I soon found out that Nutrition was going to be the key to extreme results. I immediately started to follow the guide and eat clean. And guess what?…it worked! I started dropping body fat and gaining muscle mass almost immediately. After 60 days I was stronger than I had ever been. At 90 days, I had dropped 9% body fat and gained 10 lbs of lean muscle. I played sports in high school but was never in this kind of athletic shape.
These workouts pushed me to the limit…and I loved every minute of it. Tony Horton is one of the most inspirational guys I have ever seen. The man was pushing 50 and doing things that I would never dream of. How many 27 year olds can say that? Before(P90X) I would get bored quickly with exercise but the muscle confusion always kept the routines fresh and fun. Just when I thought I was getting used to the routine, another phase would start and I would be doing totally new moves. My skepticism was erased, literally ten minutes into the first Chest/Back video, and I have never looked back.
I now proudly call myself a P90X grad. I have more energy, motivation and I am excited to challenge myself in every aspect of my life. I live a healthy lifestyle, eat clean and I have more energy in everything I do. I have also become a Beachbody Coach. I try to help others achieve their goals and change their own lives. Making money helping people with their health/fitness is one of the best jobs around. If you can imagine having a job where you create my own hours, take as many breaks as you want, help hundreds of people get into shape, and still be home to spend time with your family, then this opportunity can change your life. It has for me.
I now workout with Tony Horton in person. Tony is the real deal. He walks the walk and talks the talk. He is personable, motivational and inspiring. I have also been cast in the new P90X2! P90X is truly a life changer. In two years I went from watching the infomercial in bed, to getting ripped at home with P90X, to becoming a coach, meeting Tony Horton, and now a cast member in the new P90X2.

i know its a wierd question but alot of trasformation pictures only show the upper body, how does p90x work for the legs and such??
@Steve: Yes! There are actually some great Leg stuff in P90X. My Legs have never been stronger. Legs/Back is a great resistance style workout all geared around your leg strength. Plyometrics is a jump training workout that works on your power and agility. Yoga, has a ton of moves that focus on leg stability. I know we don’t show legs very often in our transformations but mine have definitely improved. Please respond if you have more questions!
How did you build mass? What supplements? I’ve been looking into shakeology and it’s seems incredibly expensive. I’m starting P90x Monday and I really don’t want to lose weight just fat. I’m at 166 right now at 5’7″. Any help would be appreciated c
@Noah: You build mass by eating enough calories and protein to promote muscle mass we well as using the proper weight and rep count. Supplements help as well. Have you seen my post on Gaining Mass with P90X? If not then check it out, both parts 1 and 2. Message me if you have questions. If your looking to just lose fat then sticking to the “classic” schedule and eating clean calories (following the P90X nutrition guide) is the best way to go.
Hey which nutrition phase where u using in ur first 90 days?
@Ken: I used phase 1 level 2 for the first 30 days, and phase 2 level 2+ (got up to 2600-2800 toward the end) for the other 60 days.
HOLY … dude thats B.A. more proof one can go from ordinary to extraordinary
Wow, that sounds like a great program.
I hear an awful lot about P90X, but I’ve never had the guts to try it out.
Now that I’m cutting for summer, maybe it’s the time for me to take the plunge!

@Nathan: You won’t be disappointed, trust me.
Your results seem so a lot better than most of the results of the general public (that i’ve seen), Did you do anything more than just p90x?
@Ben: Nope, I did pure P90X. The difference I think is that I followed the P90X nutrition guide 100% and used the proper supplementation. If you need help, let me know!
When did you start using creatine ex 60 days or 90 days?
@Duane: I start creatine at day 60-75 if I remember correctly.
Okay, well I am 15 and I am on the chunky side (not a whale but chunky). I want to lose weight but its really hard to follow the nutrition guide for P90X and all since I kinda in a way can’t control what I eat and also will I actually get results? I am on Week 1 going on Day 3.
@Fredy: Because you are young you will not have to follow the guide as stringently. What I would do would be to tell you to try to eat 5-6 meals per day (breakfast, snack, lunch, snack , dinner) and to also try to follow the types of foods that the nutrition guide talks about (pages 16-17). You will want to make sure you are eating enough protein to promote muscle growth (1 gram per day per your desired body weight) So if you want to be 160lbs you will want to get 160 grams of protein per day. Everything else can come from the list…complex carbs, fruits, lots of veggies, healthy fats, low fat dairy.
I forget what is in the protein groups. Its like meats and eggs and what else?
@Fredy: It’s meat, eggs, chicken, fish etc. Lean proteins. Check out my http://getrippedathome.com/nutrition/p90x-nutrition-what-foods-do-i-eat/ Post
On the P90X program did you do the Classic first? is that what your before and after pictures are from? Thanks
@Kyle: Yep, my before/after are from P90X Classic
I Seem to have a pain when i do push ups i strained it after excessively bringing it ive been in this pain for about a month how can i manage to get rid off it ?
@Jose: Where is the pain located?
In the first 30 days I did not see any noticeable results and i understand it does not happen right away. Basically I follow every exercise except yoga. For a about a year since i was not working I was basically a couch potato and suddenly i have stiff joints and i could not do half the stuff i used to do a year ago. I could not even complete yoga, half way through and i stop because my joints would start hurting. how big of a difference would it make if i replace the yoga part with say core synergetics or x-stretch?
@azarias: Yes, you need more than 30 days to let the program work before you start truly seeing results. Most people see the greatest results in phase 3 where muscle confusion really starts to take affect. There are a couple of factors you need to make sure you are doing in order to continue to see results. Are you using weights or resistance bands? Are you staying in the 8-12 rep range and if so are you using enough weight so the last 3 reps are tough. If you are stopping early when you could actually do more then you need to up your weight or go until failure. Second is diet. Are you following the diet? I would continue to use the yoga, even if you can only do half. There is a reason why yoga is in the program. It helps with more than just flexibility. It helps with strength, balance, engagement and recovery.
